Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge visited flood-affected villages along the Bhima River on Saturday, inspecting relief operations, damaged infrastructure, and crop losses caused by heavy rains in Kalaburagi and parts of Maharashtra.
During his tour of Afzalpur taluk—including Ganagapur Bridge, relief centres, Sangama, Sonna Barrage, and
surrounding villages—Kharge assessed damage to homes, farmland, and public infrastructure.
He instructed officials to submit immediate reports on affected areas and assured villagers that he would return once the rains subside for a thorough assessment. Locals were advised to provide details of families needing relocation to facilitate proper planning.
